A growing collection of online public resources integrating extensive gene expression and neuroanatomical data, with a novel suite of search and viewing tools. The Allen Institute for Brain Science is an independent nonprofit medical research organization.

An authoritative source about the brain and nervous system for the public. An initiative of The Kavli Foundation, the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, and the Society for Neuroscience. Leading neuroscientists from around the world form the BrainFacts.org editorial board.

Covers discoveries related to brain structure and function, and dispels common “neuromyths; provides science educators with easy-to-use, fun, scientifically valid resources; explores growing understanding about the biological foundations of neurological and psychiatric diseases; sparks dialogue about the progress, potential, and importance of neuroscience research.

An interactive, multi-resolution next-generation brain atlas based on over 20 million megapixels of sub-micron resolution, annotated, scanned images of serial sections of both primate and non-primate brains. Integrated with a high-speed database for querying and retrieving data about brain structure and function over the internet. Currently featured are complete brain atlas datasets for Macaca mulatta, Chlorocebus aethiops, Felis catus, Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus, Tyto alba, and other vertebrates. Compiled at UC Davis, Regents campus.

In this atlas you can view MRI sections through a living human brain as well as corresponding sections stained for cell bodies or for nerve fibers. From Michigan State University.

The GENSAT Project at The Rockefeller University is an NIH-funded, publicly available gene expression atlas of the developing and adult central nervous system in the mouse.

A Neuropathology learning program for residents and medical students, created by the Dept. of Pathology, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center

A dynamic inventory of Web-based neuroscience resources: data, materials, and tools accessible via any computer connected to the Internet. An initiative of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research, NIF advances neuroscience research by enabling discovery and access to public research data and tools worldwide through an open source, networked environment.

Post-graduate educational materials for physicians, fellows, and residents in training, created by physicians at the University of California, San Diego campus

From Harvard Medical School, central nervous system imaging which integrates clinical information with magnetic resonance (MR), x-ray computed tomography (CT), and nuclear medicine images. Made possible in part by the Departments of Radiology and Neurology at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, the Countway Library of Medicine, and the American Academy of Neurology.
